Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I booked online two activities as a surprise for my partner's birthday weekend in Tutukaka. Chris responded quickly each time I emailed a question, and happily accommodated a last minute change of bookings due to poor weather.
Directions to the park were brilliant and clear for out of towners, finding the farm with no problem. First up was the flying fox which we both had a turn zooming down the zip line - loads of fun for any age group. The safety harness firmly in place leaves arms and legs free, giving a feeling of literally flying through the air, and the motorised pulley system that returns you to the platform gives you time to take in the surroundings, and a few birds eye view photos!
Next up was clay bird shooting... numerous rounds later it was very apparent who the better shot was.
I was impressed with the attention to safety and the emphasis on having fun. We'd go back, and probably try one of the paintball game zones set up around the farm as well.

We came during winter time hence it was just our family on the park. However the boys love the shooting, hoping to come back.

Upon finally reaching a badly signposted destination, first impressions were very underwhelming.
The place was in desperate need of tidying up and general maintenance.
I had a large group booking of which I had emailed 2 weeks prior and given the exact numbers attending and our requirements.
When we arrived, the process of booking in was a long and drawn out affair. What made things even more frustrating was the fact the the paintball masks and guns were not ready for our arrival so approximately an extra hour of wasted time was added to our experience! The paintball was enjoyed by all those who participated and this was the only redeeming experience. The Archery which we had also paid for was in a sad state of disrepair and was not supervised by staff (you can imagine how unacceptable this is with a group of 12 years boys shooting sharp weapons) so our adults in the group were relied upon to show the kids what to do!
I wouldnt recommend visiting this facility as there are more negatives than positives and your money is best spent elsewhere.
If you want to stay in business then a huge maintenance and training program should be undertaken.

We choose to go to AE Fun park for our xmas party. I personally went out to view the park a week before as i had heard in-different views on the place. I let Chris the owner know we were about 15 builder blocks coming for a work doo and we wanted to use the BBQ ect. I didn't mention alcohol for the BBQ as i thought it would go without saying. Chris was rude in telling us we couldn't have alcohol on the property when we turned up and lacked people skills. While we had a good time playing paint ball i would not recommend for a BBQ situation and be aware that no alcohol is allowed on property. Apparently according to Chris it is clearly stated on his website but i have not been able to find.

Unfortunately it is both illegal and irresponsible to consume alcohol and then use firearms like you attempted to do so and as operators we can not allow this. because of a small number of groups attempting to do this we had to ban all non deposit paying groups from bringing alcohol into the park ( It may be brought in by prior arrangement). we are however sorry if we were a bit blunt. The warnings were in 2 emails sent to you, the bookings page of the website, the sign next to where you unloaded and began consuming your alcohol and the sign next to where is was continued to be consumed where 2nd and 3rd warnings were given.

Took a party of school kids who had a super time. The do it yourself barbeque area is a brilliant idea.
The very sad hiccup they had recently would not have been their fault and lets hope they can get back to normal this year.

Took my kids, who were really excited. Some great initiative with the mini putt course. I experienced the flying fox, which in all was very disapointing the instructer needs to lighten-up & be a bit more encouraging. Firstly when giving instructions, you should give them all, my harness wasnt put on properly, so as the flying fox impacted the tyres at the end i got whip lash from it. Once i got back, no response from the dude, got back to the car & had others there come & check as they saw it & were worried. They offer alot of things to do here, we didnt do the paintball or clay disk shooting. Overall needs a tidy up as broken clay disks & paintball balls were all over the place.

I rang to make a booking for 2 boys for paintball and 2 for laser tag. Turned up at booked time to find that we were the only people there and that the 2 paint ballers were meant to shoot each other. I didn't know that he doesn't mix groups together and would have appreciated being told that on the phone as we wouldn't have made the trip. So we all ended up playing laser tag for $28 each which was expensive I thought. Definitely a man of few words!
